Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me clearly.

1.The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.

A．the woman's window was dirty             B．the writer's window was dirty

2.The writer was surprised that_____.

A．the woman was sitting by her window

B．the woman's window was clean

C．the woman did cleaning in the afternoon

D．the woman's window was still terrible

3.The underlined sentence "It dawned on me" probably means _______.

A．I began to understand it                  B．it cheered me up

C．I knew it grew light                      D．it began to get dark

4.It's clear that _____.

A．the writer had never met the woman before

B．the writer often washed the window

C．they both worked as cleaner

D．they lived in a small town

5.From the passage, we can learn ______.

Hundreds of years ago, Native-American tribes lived in Mexico. The Aztecs built beautiful cities. They had a calendar (历法) and a written language. However, the Spanish destroyed the Aztecs in l521. For the next 300 years, Spain ruled over Mexico. That’s why Mexicans speak Spanish.

Every September l6 the Mexican people hold a celebration in Mexico City, their country’s capital. It is their Independence Day. On that date in 1821 they told Spain they would no longer be ruled. Breaking free from Spain caused a war. When it was over, the Mexicans had their own government. They made their own laws.

Today America and Mexico are friends, but it wasn’t always that way. President James Polk wanted America to reach from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. He tried to buy what is now the American southwest from Mexico. Mexico would not sell. So from l846 to 1848 Mexico and America fought a war to ascertain where their borders would be. When the war ended, Mexico had lost a lot of land. Now the Rio Grande River forms the border between the two nations. America is on the north side of the river. Mexico is on the south side.

Mexico has mountains and a hot, dry climate. Crops can grow on only a small part of the land. Still, Mexicans grow much of the coffee, oranges, and sugar used in the US. Mexicans have influenced building styles in southwestern US and added words such as patio and canton to American English. Americans also enjoy eating many Mexican foods like burritos, tacos, tortillas, and tamales.

1.According to the passage, what happened second on historical timeline?

A. Mexicans declared their independence from Spain.

B. The Spanish ruled Mexico.

C. The Aztecs lived in Mexico.

D. Americans fought a war with Mexico.

2.The passage says that President Polk wanted ______.

A. the US to expand its borders to the Pacific Ocean

B. Mexico to change its Independence Day to July 4th

C. Mexico to become one of the states of the Union

D. Americans to adopt the Mexican language

3. Another word for the underlined word “ascertain” is ______.

A. inspect　　　 B. cover

C. change　　　　 D. determine

4.Mexicans have the following influences on America EXCEPT ______.

A. building styles　 B. vocabulary

C. clothes　 　　　　 D. food

5.Before the Aztecs were conquered(征服), these Native Americans probably ______.

A. didn’t speak Spanish

B. couldn’t read or write any language

C. didn’t have tools

D. didn’t understand the concept of time

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Daban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a mystery in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered there with lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life at that moment.

However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks (树干).

Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made.

It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10, 000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some dried-up rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.

Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds which aren‘t easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries all over the world.

1.Who was the first person to set foot in Loulan in the 20th century?

A.A European. B.An American.

C.A Chinese. D.A Japanese.

2.While Loulan still sat there, _____________.

A.there was no government or officials living in that area

B.people from America, Japan and even Oceania had been there

C.Too many people gathered in Loulan and destroyed it.

D.How Loulan ancient city disappeared is still unknown to us.
